Holden Beach is one of my favorite local beach towns. It’s slow paced and family friendly, but also a short drive to both Wilmington and Myrtle Beach. I met this sweet family during their Holden Beach vacation. The adorable grandparents were super smitten with their three grandchildren (one of which was a brand new baby girl!) and they were all happy to be spending some quality time together as well as getting some updated family portraits!
S. Family | Bald Head Island Photographer
I met this lovely family during their vacation on Bald Head Island. We took some shots near the dunes with Old Baldy in the background, as well as some photos in front of the water. The S. family consists of grandparents, their two adult children, and their kids (five total grandchildren). I was honored to provide them with a fun, laid back session and updated family portraits.
I often reference this group when asked about clothing choices for beach sessions. I absolutely love this color palette of greens, coral, and white/khaki. They also did such a great job coordinating their outfits without being completely matching!
S. Family | Oak Island Photographer
The S. family was such a sweet group to photograph! I met them during their vacation on Oak Island, which is my hometown, so it’s always so fun to have sessions there! Of course, the two beautiful daughters/granddaughters were the stars of the show and they were big fans of the beach. It had rained the entire day and then cleared up right before our session, so we got a gorgeous cotton candy sky as our backdrop.
Here are some of my favorites from my time with this precious family:
K. Family | Holden Beach Photographer
As a mom of 4 kids ages 10 and under, I hear the phrase “just wait until they’re teenagers!” all the time. I’m very much a baby/toddler person, so I am a bit nervous for the teen years, but sometimes I meet families who ease my worries. The K. family consisted of mom, dad, and their three teenagers. These kids were so sweet and you could tell the family was very close knit. They had so much fun together during our session on Holden Beach. I actually left feeling excited about having teens in a few years (and they listened/followed directions better than my little ones, ha!)
R. Family | Bald Head Island Photographer
When the patriarch of the R. family reached out to schedule updated family portraits, I knew they would be such a fun bunch to photograph! Their family consists of three adult children and their spouses, as well as two really adorable pups.
They were vacationing on Bald Head Island, which is one of my absolute favorite locations! First, we took some shots at a grassy park area with Old Baldy in the distance and then we headed over to the beach for some relaxed portraits.
